Who's Hermione anyway? Is she this superhero chick who saves the day every single time and knows 1000x times more spells than Harry or Ron? Or is she this shy, homely girl who washes her boyfriend's dirty underwear? Or maybe she's this naturally beautiful, sexy girl who doesn't hesitate to break rules for her bf?

HBP and DH really threw me off my Hermione wagon. I wasn't really sure about her characterization anymore.

I felt that way about most of the main characters. The world building was great in the Potter books, but the characterization was not always consistent. It seems characters were whatever was needed to move the plot along, and that led to some inconsistencies.

I felt like once the trio went questing, JKR stumbled a bit with Hermione vs Harry as the natural leader. In the school books her aversion to rule-breaking vs his Dursley-induced forms of rebellion (plus the fact that everyone was keeping secrets specifically about him) made sidekick!Hermione organic.

Once they were out on the road though, it's less clear why Harry should call the narrative shots. Hermione naturally outpowers him. It's an anxiety that doesn't really get sorted out, especially in DH. Harry rushes them from plot point to plot point via hunches and coincidences, while Hermione at one point literally freaks out over accidentally breaking Harry's metaphorical penis wand by being too badass.

Good point, once they were out of school, the dynamics of the trio that made them function were messed up. Hermione became supergirl, Harry got all melancholic, Ron just packed it in ;)
